"Absolutely loved this place!!! We were at a wedding but we had to drive back into Washington and we were exhausted. Pulling up to the property was pretty special. There was a large colorful Ferris Wheel and beautiful waterfront area. Plenty of restaurants and bars to chill in. There was even a Marilyn Monroe statue that looked cool. The hotel was really nice. Loved the card access elevators. If your room is on the busy /plaza entrance, there may be some traffic noise. Also… huge note.. there is no onsite parking. You have to park at one of the parking decks and then walk back. Not cool but… I guess you sacrifice convenience for the waterfront views. The night clerk at the front was excellent. Highly knowledgeable about the area and full of tips for the next time we come back to Washington. I was in line while he handled some unruly patrons and a late entry that didn’t have a room.. the hotel was fully booked. He handled everything in expert fashion and had the lobby area clear and patrons happy minutes. My family wished we’d had more time to stay at the hotel but it was a quick day trip. 5 stars all the way around. "
